[QUOTE="slash261994, post: 8720996, member: 681387"] Hello everyone, I am looking at maybe getting a first-gen honda insight but the problem is they don't have an alternator and the dc converter used for supplying the car with 12v can only output 75amps! :mad: So now my question is what would you guys do? could I use an ultacap to be able to run ~1000-1500rms? I have a basic understanding of the capacitors and understand that it can only supply the power for so long, but since the music wouldn't be a constant load, would there be enough time for the cap to charge up in between loads? I'm new to the forum so I apologize in advance if this has already been covered. [/QUOTE]
